Note:Oceanospirillum maris subsp. williamsae Linn and Krieg 1978 was validly published in the International Journal of Systematic Bacteriology (Int. J. Syst. Bacteriol., 1978, 28, 132-138.) which would qualify it for inclusion in the Approved Lists of Bacterial Names. The ommission of this name from the Approved Lists 1980 is clearly not in accordance with the Bacteriological Code (1990 Revision) Rule 24a, Note 1.
